headlight bulbs burning out too quickly
What kind of headlights to you have - the small round lens type with the Xenon HID bulbs within or the larger type with the internal reflector and halogen bulbs? The problem I had was rear tail lights or the brake light bulbs burning out more often than I thought they should - perhaps every six... -
What's with JLR?/Defender rant
Land Rover thinks they can get more market share by building sexy cars, meanwhile no body on frame vehicle means they turn market share over to Mercedes and Toyota. I wonder what LR knows that Mercedes and Toyota do not? -
Need new shocks - where to buy?
If you are going to rebuild the air springs yourself, the odds are your factory air springs are OK, hence all you need are the new shocks. The airbags, unless ripped, tend to last for years, (like 20 years), however the shocks within fail, as do all shocks. Myself, when I needed new front... -
help locating the Bluetooth module hardware in the lr3
You may find information of interest in some of the files per the link below. Some files relate to the Rosen display, others to the infotainment and navigation systems, and a few on the Bluetooth 0000 and 2121 alternatives, plus the fibre optics connecting all together... -
What's with JLR?/Defender rant
The link below is to the 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor. I suspect the "new" Defender will be a variation of the Ranger. What annoys me the most is LR already has a "new" Defender - the commercial version of our D3/LR3 - coil springs, work like interior, and for engines, either the simple non... -
Sell a 2010 and buy a 2013?
I regard Tata as a world leader in 3 wheelers however the good news being they have lots of money to pay others to design their 4 wheelers, Ford being one of the "contractors". It might be my imagination, but for every Jag model there is, (and there seems to be alot of them), I think I see a... -
Sell a 2010 and buy a 2013?
I never paid much attention to the V6 engines but I just assumed the SC was advertising and who really knows the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger - well most soccer Moms do not so just assumed it was an Ecoboost. Knocking two cylinders off and adding expensive bits sounds... -
Sell a 2010 and buy a 2013?
I suppose the 2013 still has a bit of warranty left as $20,000 strikes me as a fair spread for three model years difference. One thing certain, the new D5/LR Explorer does not get me too excited. I note that Mercedes has just introduced their new bigger G Wagon - it appears to be now about the... -
Sell a 2010 and buy a 2013?
Might I ask how much a 2010 is worth, and how much for a 2013 in Can bucks. I do not regard my 2005 HSE with 305,000 km on it as worth much on the used LR3 lot, but it still seems to do what it did when new - well actually better now than when new, as at least now, it is more reliable than when... -
LED Headlight bulbs - installation
Your comment re LED light in fog and snow much interested me. I am tending to hear similar comments re LED light - OK in clear conditions; lousy in less than perfect weather. I think that is because the colour of the LEDs is too white - up in the 6000K range - seems great in clear night... -
2006 LR3 HSE Satellite XM radio capabilities?
The link below has a bit of commentary re getting Sirius to work in a 2008 LR3. For 2005, there is no Sirius setup period, but for 2006, that may be different, particularly given your sharks-fin. Also what does seem to be common to the discussion is the requirement to go into your CCF and... -
Winter Washing Options?
Wand wash or what I guess is called, "Do it Yourself". Per the link below, here in Alberta, we have heated buildings, (not air conditioned), that consist of a number of wash bays where one drives your vehicle inside, puts coins or a credit card in some sort of money box with a knob or buttons... -
Speakers not working
I suspect that you have a crack in a printed circuit board of the amp. Cooler weather opens up the printed circuit and then it closes back up with an increase in temperature. If if stops for good, do a Goggle for Land Rover amp/radio repairs - there is an outfit in the States that know what... -
Speakers not working
I do not know what the term "android radio" refers to, but the hard reset procedure can cure any number of silly problems the 3 develops for no good reason - well maybe a low voltage due to engine start in cold weather, that sort of "now what" problem that appears for no apparent reason. -
Issues with my 2006 LR3
You might want to start going thru my files per the link below to get an idea of solutions to some of the problems; also it will be an introduction to the fact you have purchased a mobile computer that just happens to be the Worlds Best 4x4 - and there is a cost to that fact. The files... -
LR4 in high cross winds situation
This fall during the fires, I had the A pillar plastic fly off a Ford Explorer down on the Crowsnest,(Hwy 3), one gusty day when an approaching semi passed. The A pillar plastic has not let go yet on my 3 however. The Explorer, (company car), really amuses me as so much of its design is a... -
Driving and come SYSTEM FAULT SPECIAL PROGRAMS NOT AVAILABLE
Install a new brake light switch - does not cost much, and solves a lot of false problems. The link below has a number of files within that provides some insight. I see one of the files has near five thousand views so switch replacement may be worth consideration... -
Saying goodbye to an albatross
This list is probably correct. I figure the LR costs more in the first five years than any of the others below the first five makes. The reality is for the first four years, most vehicles are on new car warranty but the LR and the first five will need money spent on them not covered by... -
New OEM Lug Nuts or Gorilla Lug Nuts?
M14 x 1.5 is the correct internal thread. The link below is to a metric drawing of the lug nuts for my LR3, the same as the jpg attached but with more data. I think they are the same for the LR4. The inch drawing in the post above appears about correct. The important item is the "washer"... -
Speakers not working
Hard reset is the most probably solution and costs nothing. For whatever reason, it is not uncommon for the radio speakers to quit after either a battery change out or an alternator replacement. It has something to do with removing the power from the computers before the electronics have gone... -
AIR SHOCKS REPLACEMENT
You will have to contact Arnott and ask them if a software upgrade is required. In kind of think now, but I just do not know. Let us know regardless as if an upgrade is required, Arnott should be noting that when a sale is made. One reason the AMK needs a software up grade is that while the... -
AIR SHOCKS REPLACEMENT
The link below has a file within specifically related to your hitch. With early models of the 3, the "plow" did not come standard - you had to purchase it extra; also there were key lock problems with the early units as well - referenced below. In theory, you can find the "plows" on eBay; I... -
AIR SHOCKS REPLACEMENT
Below is a link to my album which contains a number of files related to the air system and a good number of other items relevant to your 3. Your good news is that I presume replacing the air compressor must have for the most part, resolved whatever your concern was. I might mention that if the... -

Diagnostic tool? iLand???
I have the Black Box Nanocom Evolution unit which was probably the first unit of it type re the D3/LR3 with the ability to adjust suspension plus modify the software and firmware. https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/ The other now very common unit that can do pretty much everything the Nanocom...
